Heading 5212Other woven fabrics of cotton, n.e.c. in chapter 52

Chapter 52: Cotton

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 521214 when importing or exporting lightweight cotton fabrics made from yarns of different colors, weighing not more than 200 grams per square meter. For example, this code applies to a shipment of colorful cotton tablecloths that meet these specifications.

This code is distinct from HS-6 521213, which covers similar cotton fabrics but with specific characteristics like a different weight or weave. If your fabric weighs more than 200g/m2, you would need to consider a different classification.

The HS-6 521214 line specifically includes woven cotton fabrics that are not elsewhere classified in chapter 52. This means they don’t fit into more specific categories, allowing for a broader range of products under this classification.

When classifying your cotton fabrics, be mindful of the weight and color of the yarns used. If your product is a lightweight cotton scarf with multiple colors, it would also fall under this HS-6 line.
